EVS in CROATIA

Project "Camp of volunteers: Summer in

the Golden Valley" will take place in the
village Latinovac, municipality of aglin in
Croatia, during 1
st
of September and 31th
October 2014. It is intended for EVS
volunteers from Lithuania, Spain and
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The projects
goal is to promote a sustainable way of
living and to support development of
rural areas with youth mobility.
Activities that will be provided during this project are: permacultural education, Straw
festival, ReCreative activities, nonviolent communication seminar, Dragon dreaming
education, writing project proposals education, language studying and movie making. We
are going to implement various methods to carry out these activities. There will be individual
and group approach during workshops/seminars/meetings. In our work, we will use power
point presentations, organize interactive lectures, show thematic movies and organize
discussions on various topics. We will support and encourage creativity during the whole
project. Together with volunteers, we will create a Facebook profile and web page of Eco
Center Latinovac and we'll make a blog. Volunteers will be responsible for making a movie
that will present the whole work in the project.
The results we plan to achieve are transfer of knowledge about permaculture, nonviolent
communication, project proposal writing and different methods of group work. The project
is important because it promotes work and living experience in another country (rural area)
and learning about new cultures. We plan to make two new project proposals during project
writing workshop. By connecting EVS volunteers with local youths, we promote and spread
ideas about the importance and benefits of youth mobility in personal growth and
development. We want to encourage and support local youths to take active part in
European projects for young people.
Sustainable growth and local community
development are necessary for regional
and national development. With this
project, we encourage and support local
activism and positive changes.
The project will empower youth mobility
and create new experiences. By
understanding and familiarizing ourselves
with cultural, national and civilizational
diversity, we promote a substantial
decrease in discrimination and violence
in the society.
Volunteers will be able to spread
knowledge, skills and experiences among young people in their home countries. Eco Center
Latinovac and partner organizations will support volunteers to make this happen.
